    Try a game as Sweboz, they wipe Gauls as effectively as Romans with much cheaper units, but with start exp of 3-4...

    Javelins > Sweboz online.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Barb vs Barb is pretty interesting online since its a game of who can missile who's decent troops. So he who charges first loses.

    On the other hand, any barb faction with scary dudes results in a massive frontal assault taht decides the game in about 10 minutes.

    :-\

    So against the Sweboz, just get a lot of ranged units. What about the Greeks?
